DELAY

G. Prakasam vs The Secretary To Government on 12 April, 2011State of Madhya Pradesh vs. Bani Singh and another in 1990 (Supp) 

SCC  . The irregularities  alleged in the enquiry is said to have taken place between the years 1975‐77. Even in April 1977 there was doubt about 

the involvement of the officer in the said irregularities and the investigations had been going on since then.  If that is so, it is 

unreasonable to think that they would have taken more than 12 years to initiate the disciplinary proceedings. There is no satisfactory explanation for inordinate delay in issuing the chargememo 

in C.Gnanasekhara Babu Rao V. The State of Tamil Nadu

(W.P.No.824 of 2008) held that inordinate and

unexplained delay of nine years is fatal to the

departmental proceedings and on that ground, quashed

the charge memo. [P. V. MahadevanV. Managing Director, 

(2005) 6 SCC 636  and Union of India and others V. Naman Singh 

Shekhawat (2008) 1 SCC (L&S;) 1053]

P. Chinnadurai vs The Inspector General Of ... on 27 January, 2012

Departmental Disciplinary Proceedings are different from the criminal case. The revised charge memo contained different Articles of Charge ,was not motivated and was not identical to the earlier chargememo 

was upheld.  The delay, if any, in issuing the revised chargememo is due to the conduct of the petitioner in stalling the conducting of the enquiry. 

The necessity to issue fresh charge memo arose since the other chargeswere not included in the earlier charge memo.
